YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University football team earned a crucial victory in Mid-American Conference action, as senior Mathew Sexton (Clinton, Mich.-Clinton) collected his second game-winning touchdown of the season to clinch a 34-27 win over Western Michigan University Saturday, Oct. 19, in Mid-American Conference action inside Rynearson Stadium.

Trailing 27-26 with 1:51 left in regulation, the Eagles (4-3, 1-2 MAC) started what proved to be the game-deciding drive at their own 28-yard-line. After Sexton made a three-yard catch and quickly ran out-of-bounds to the near sideline, sophomore quarterback Preston Hutchinson (Mason, Ohio-Mason) found fellow sophomore Dylan Drummond (Cleveland, Ohio-Cuyahoga Heights) for an 18-yard pass to advance to the EMU 47-yard line.
